  • GFSI schemesBRCGS Food Safety Issue 9, IFS Food Version 8, FSSC 22000 Version 6 and the SQF Food Safety Code, and how each one grades and reports.
  • EURegulations (EC) 178/2002 and 852/2004, the legal requirements an internal audit checks at an EU site.
  • UKRetained food law and the Food Safety and Hygiene Regulations.
